Gulmohar Khadi Cotton Embroidered Lavender Suit (T+B+D)

What is embroidered on this Gulmohar set?

Pink and violet flowers with black leaves are embroidered on the yoke of the top. The black leaves give the florals a sharp outline against the soft lavender base, so the work looks defined and a little graphic rather than sugary.

Is the dupatta embroidered too?

Yes, flowers trail along the dupatta in the same palette as the yoke, and its ends are finished with tassels. Draped, it carries the floral design across the outfit. It is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long, which leaves room for a generous drape.

Is it light enough for summer?

Yes. Khadi cotton is breathable with a natural texture, which keeps it comfortable in warm weather and on long days out. The embroidery is concentrated on the yoke and dupatta, so the body of the kurta stays light and airy.

Where is it made?

This set comes from Bhagalpur and is made in khadi cotton, a fabric with roots in India's independence movement and a lasting symbol of craftsmanship and self-reliance. Its natural texture and breathability make it easy to wear through a long office day or a warm afternoon out.

How should I get the bottom stitched?

The bottom fabric is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long. Straight pants keep the set clean and modern, a salwar gives it a softer traditional look, and palazzos make it breezy for travel. Since the embroidery is on the yoke, a plain bottom lets it stay the focus.

Why does the fabric have a slight texture?

The gentle unevenness is the natural slub of khadi cotton yarn. It gives the fabric a soft, matte character and a handcrafted feel. Minor irregularities like this are part of handmade fabric, and they make each piece a little different from the next.
